Laura




So, I went over my options with the endocrinologist this week for treatment of Grave's Disease and I'm going to go with the radioactive iodine to kill the thyroid off. The antithyroid medication would be too risky to any future pregnancy, and surgical removal always carries risks. I'm going to be radioactive for SEVEN days after the procedure! I'm not supposed to be anywhere near babies or small children, in addition to a whole host of other precautions to follow. No appointment set yet, but it should all go down the week of the 13 of April. Until then, I will enjoy being free of radioactivity.
